Although track events like the Long Jump and the Javelin occupy a tiny niche next to pro sports leagues, there's something very compelling about watching Earth's best athletes test the limits of the human body. Playman Track & Field offers up a polished bundle of minigames that impart a taste of that feeling, lifetimes of training not required. All it takes is a keen eye and strong thumbs.There are five events to choose from: the 100 Meter Dash, the Long Jump, the 110 Meter Hurdles, the Pole Vault, and the Javelin. Although their controls vary a bit from one to another, they're all based on perfecting your accuracy and timing.As the simplest event, the 100 Meter Dash sets the baseline for all of the other minigames. When the race starts, you tap touch buttons that appear on the right- and left-hand sides of the screen as quickly as possible to accelerate. Incorrect taps slow you down.
